Philadelphia Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Pedestrian Accident Lawyers in Philadelphia

Not all personal injuries come from two cars colliding with each other. In fact, some of the most severe injuries happen in pedestrian accidents, when a car or truck hits someone who is walking, running, or standing on the side of the road. These accidents happen surprisingly frequently, and often lead to significant injuries to the pedestrian. Especially dangerous intersections were noted in Philadelphia.

Because of the terrible injuries that pedestrians sustain in these kinds of accidents, and because pedestrians are often not to blame for being hit on the side of the road, the attorneys at The Brod Law Firm take great pride in having represented injured pedestrians for over 30 years in Philadelphia and throughout the state of Pennsylvania.

Why Choose Philadelphia Pedestrian Accident Attorney Gary Brod?

Pedestrians Get Hit By Cars All the Time

It is a sad fact that crossing the street or running alongside it are dangerous things to do. People drive recklessly, while distracted, and while under the influence of drugs or alcohol all the time.

Unfortunately, this makes victims out of innocent pedestrians every day. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more than 150,000 pedestrians were treated for injuries they suffered when a car hit them in 2013, alone. At this rate, nearly one pedestrian is hurt every eight minutes in the United States. And these are just the pedestrian accidents that get reported to police: A significant amount of pedestrians who get hurt go to the hospital without ever filing a police report.

Pedestrian Accidents Are Serious

When cars hit pedestrians, it is almost never the case that the car comes out of the encounter worse off. Cars are made of multiple thousands of pounds of plastic, glass, and metal. People are only a couple hundred, and rarely have any protective equipment when they are walking along a road.

It should not come as a surprise that the injuries pedestrians suffer when they get hit by a car are often severe, if not fatal. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that 4,735 pedestrians were killed in 2013. This meant that pedestrians accounted for 14% of the fatalities in all vehicle accidents.
